Have Realistic Expectations before buying this
I got this over the 322, and Toro - because of the 7.5amp vs 10 amp rating on the 323E. Chose this over the 324E due to price, wider, and I did not need the LED light. Amazon Prime delivered right on time and I was able to test this out after the Thanksgiving Eve snowfall in Northern NJ. We ended up getting about 6" of wet packed snow. Overall, I am happy for what it does for the price I paid. This will definitely not replace a gas or even push style electric snow blower/thrower, but it gets the job done and is less work and heavy lifting than regular shoveling. General Tips: - During assembly, it might help to use a small thin wire/tiewrap/twistytie etc. to hold the inner-wire in place so it does not obstruct the assembly bolt when threading through the two pieces - Spraying down the Plastic Auger / Grinder with Silicone Spray helped A LOT with wet snow. Make sure the lubricant you use is safe on Plastics. Annoyances / Shortcomings: - Check which direction the wind is blowing before using - otherwise you will probably just hit yourself. Can't adjust throw direction or angle - Need to hold down trigger for the motor to work (argh safety features) - Sweet Spot seems to be 3-6" snowfall. Less than that is probably easier to just push the snow out with a wide shovel. More than that you will probably run into problems with the inlet height only being 6.5" - Auger is PLASTIC - stones/rocks, maybe even large chunks of Road Salt could definitely mess the paddle/blade up when spinning at high RPM. I would definitely advise caution using the shovel on the road surface in front of a driveway due to road salt / loose gravel / etc. Remember - its cheap - dont expect miracles!
